I can\u2019t wait to see what Lizzie what does with this live!<\/p>\n<p>By the way, love the harmonies that come in from 2:32 mark. NICE!<\/p>\n<p>Lizzie says of this song:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cShade Of Green\u201d was written at the end of summer of 2021 when I was seeing so many people I love and myself comparing everything we do and are to other people, and constantly feeling not good enough. It\u2019s about jealousy turning you bitter and hateful to the point where your view is so warped, and you begin to turn against each other and rather than society and the media that has created these conventions. More than anything I wanted the message of this song to be not to compare yourself, drag each other down and or hate but to try to find ways to feel good enough and accept who you are.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Written by Lizzie Esau, music by Steve Grainger.<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Steve Grainger<\/p>\n<p>Vocals: Lizzie Esau<\/p>\n<p>Drums: Alex Baker<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Bass: Joe Bennison<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Guitars: Shaun Chipp, Steve Grainger<\/p>\n<p>Press Contact: <a href=\"mailto:hello@yinyangmedia.co.uk\">hello@yinyangmedia.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to: Nina Sebastiane<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" src=\"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lizzie-35mm-1-credit-@liammaxwellphotos.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lizzie-35mm-1-credit-@liammaxwellphotos.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lizzie-35mm-1-credit-@liammaxwellphotos-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lizzie-35mm-1-credit-@liammaxwellphotos-450x300.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lizzie-35mm-1-credit-@liammaxwellphotos-90x60.jpeg 90w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lizzie Esau returns with a song that explores her using spoken word at the beginning of the track\u2026 There are so many things I like about this song it sounds like everyone\u2019s walking into a rehearsal or live stage and then sitting down to get this song going..\u00a0 Lizzie\u2019s talent for writing a catchy melody &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4349,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[191,42,118,129,174,52,172,143,30,180,149,142,73,150,175,186,162,126],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative","category-band","category-bass","category-drums","category-electronica","category-guitar","category-hip-hop","category-london","category-music","category-pop","category-pop-music","category-producer","category-singer-songwriter","category-songwriter","category-soul","category-spoken-word","category-uk","category-vocals"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4348"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4348\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4350,"href":"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4348\/revisions\/4350"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
